The Internet has been a part of everyone's daily life for years now, whether for work, study or entertainment.
The theme of web security and how to navigate safely from potential risks is, therefore, a much debated topic.
Regardless of the type of site and the sector, certain requirements are becoming increasingly essential to preserve the integrity of the pages and protect the privacy of users and the data received and transmitted.
